Uncle Sam Goddamn (4:57)

Brother Ali was put under pressure from the recording industry due the lyrics, claiming creative interference from “somebody I don’t wanna name, but some of you probably has they cell phones.” The unnamed corporation ultimately withdrew its sponsorship of Ali, causing him to truncate parts of his current tour.Furthermore, on the song “Second Time Around” with Benzi and Wale, Ali makes references to being kicked off a tour followed by the line “Verizon dissed me too, cuz I was too political.” The song is notably critical of the United States government, with accusations that the political system is addicted to war.

Lyrics
Ah,
The name of this song is uncle sam goddamn
It’s a show tune but the show aint been written for it yet.
Were gonna see if tony Jerome and the band can maybe work this shit out for me
And straighten me out right quick
I like it so far man

Yeah

Come on, lets go

Welcome to the united snakes
Land of the thief, home of the slave
Grand imperial guard where the dollar is sacred

Come on lets do this shit for real now

Smoke and mirrors, stripes and stars
Stoner for the cross in the name of god
Bloodshed, genocide, rape and fraud
Written to the pages of the law, good lord

The (inaudible) and latch key child
Ran away one day and started acting vile
King of where the wild things are, daddy’s proud
Cause the roman empire done passed it down

Imported and tortured the work force
They never healed the wounds or shook the curse off
Now the grown up goliath nation
Holdin open auditions for the part of david, can you feel?

Nothing can save you, you question the rain
You get rushed in and chained up
